Analysis of genetic distance by SSR in waxy maize

R. H. Yu, Wang, Y. L., Sun, Y., and Liu, B., Analysis of genetic distance by SSR in waxy maize, vol. 11, pp. 254-260, 2012.

We examined the genetic diversity of 80 inbred waxy maize lines using 22 SSR molecular markers that could be used to achieve heterosis in waxy maize. Eighty inbred waxy maize lines with different phenotypes, 40 yellow, 25 white, 13 black, and two red lines were analyzed by SSR molecular marker fingerprint and cluster analysis. Using a standard genetic distance of 0.55, the 80 waxy maize inbred lines were clustered into nine groups.
